Best time of year!

Reconnection meetings ~ especially for 6th graders to see the familiar face of their mentor in the hallway of their new (much bigger) middle school ~ highly recommend. 5 stars. No notes.

This could be you! All you need is a free hour once a week during the school year. Any school in Champaign Unit 4 Schools or Urbana School District #116 would love to have you.

Middle School reconnection meetings are happening and we love it!

Especially the new 6th graders getting to see their mentors come with them from elementary school (middle school isn't that scary but a familiar face makes a huge difference)

Thank you to all the Champaign Unit 4 Schools mentors and we hope everyone has the best year!

It is the very best time of year...back to school!

Welcome back to all our mentees and the amazing Champaign Unit 4 Schools and Urbana School District #116 staff.

Mentors ~ we are so excited to see you in a few weeks when everyone has a chance to settle into the new year

Happy Volunteer Week to all our mentors in Champaign Unit 4 Schools and Urbana School District #116 ~ none of this happens without you!

We appreciate all the hours you share with our students - the number for one year is impressive - one hour a week sure does add up

Big thanks to Parkland College Health Professions for hosting our middle school mentees jobs field trip. The students (and their mentors!) had a great time learning about so many possible careers.

The hands on labs are so cool! Mentees had the chance to give a shot (to a robot arm), listen to a heartbeat and other body sounds on a robot (pictured), see the inside of an ambulance and do a relay race in the Occupational Therapy space (pictured). Did the mentees or mentors win the race?
